Specification of Letters Patent.

application filed July 1 1. 1911. Serial No. 63$,d35.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS H. Harries, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hutchinson, in the county of Reno and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in hydrocarbon burners.

The object of my invention is to provide a burner which will etliciently burn crude oil, and which may be advantageously employed in common cooking and heating stoves. v

The novel features of my invention are hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved burner mounted in a cook stove which is shown in vertical section. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line (1-4) of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a top view of the burner shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4c is a vertical section on the line c-cl of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 isa view partly in side elevation and partly in vertical section of a heating stove provided with my improved burner, the burner being shown in elevation. Fig. 6 is a horizontal section on the line c-f of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a horizontal section of the burner pipe taken on the line g-h of Fig. 5.

Similar reference characters designate similar parts.

Referring to the form of my invention shown in Figs. l. to 4-, 1 designates a drip pan which, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, is adapted to replace the bottom grate in the tire box 2 of a coolestove 3, of any usual type. The drip pan 1 is provided with one or more vertical air shafts 4, the upper ends of which are disposed above the bottom of the drip pan. Suitable closures may be provided for the said air shafts. In the drawings l have shown hinged closures '5 hinged to the bottom of the drip pan 1 at one set of edges and having the opposite set oi edges provided with notches 6 adapted to receive therein respectively turn buttons 7 pivoted to the bottom of the drip pan. gun ported by and extending across the air shafts at are horizontal troughs 8 having open ends which discharge into the drip pan 1. Mounted in the troughs 8 is the horizontal portion 9 of a burnerpipe which is connected to a vaporizer 10 disposed above and parallel with the portion 9. The por tion 9 1s provided with discharge openings ll disposed respectively above the air sh atts by a pipe 15 to a supply tank ll) disposed so as to feed the oil'by gravity. One end of the burner pipe is closed by a cap 17. The pipe 15 may be provided with .a shut oil cook 18.

In the operation of the mechanism just described, when both discharge openings 11 are to be used the cooks 14: and 18 are opened. The oil then passes by the pipe 15 from the tank ll) to and through the vaporizer 10 into the burner pipe 9, from which it passes through the discharge openings '11 into the troughs 8. escaping therefrom into the drip pan 1. The oil in the drip pan "is ignited, and the flame from the burning oil heats the burner pipe 9, thereby vaporizing the oil which is discharged through the openings 11 against the deflector plates 12. By reason of the discharge openings 11. being above the air shafts 4? a plentiful sup ply 0:1? oxygen is supplied to and mixeswith the oil vapor. Very oftenthe holes 11, which are usv ally drilled in the burner pipe, are not exactly vertical but inclined. By having the deflectors movable lengthwise on the vaporizer 10, they may be adjusted to the proper position for intercepting the jets discharged from the openings 11. By having the deflectors circumferentially adjustable on the vaporizer 10. the deflectors may be adjusted so as to deflect the jets more or less toward the fireback 19 of the stove, thus increasing or decreasing the amount oi heat applied to the forward side of. the oven 20. In case that but one jet is required for doing the cooking desired,

oil supply. The vaporizer 10 is connected button 7 adjacent thereto.

the cock 14 may be closed. The closure 5 at the right of the cock 1 1, as viewed in Fig. 4, is then .swung to the closed position, in which position it is secured by the turn The air shaft 4: thus closed-will not perinit passage of air, thus causing what air is admitted to the tire box through the drip pan to pass through the unclosed air shaft 4 and thereby increasing the draft and amount of air supplied to the jet which is discharged above the open shaft.

In the form of my invention shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 7, the construction is very similar to that already described. The drip pan 1 is show'n'as circular in form to fit the bottom of the fire bowl 21 in place, of the ordinary bottom grate. The drip pan is shown provided with Three troughs 8 are respectively mounted on the air shafts 4 and have mounted in them the U shaped burner pipe 9 connected to a vaporizer 10 which is also U shaped.

and has mounted on it three pivotally and slidably mounted deflectors, which may be adjusted so that the plates 12 thereof will throw the deflected jets issuing from the discharge openings 11 against the inner side of the fire bowl 21, or, as shown in Fig. 5, the plates 12 may be disposed horizontally. The vaporizer 10 is connected with the tank 16 by the pipe 15, which as in the other form of my invention may be provided with a shut off cock 18.

The operation of the form of my invention just describedis the same as the other form, so no additional description is required.

The drip pan 1 may be filled with asbestos 22. The troughs 8 serve both as supports for the burner pipe and to prevent the passage of oil into the air shafts 4.

I do not limit my invention to the structures shown and described as many modifications, within the scope of the appended claims, may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
